You have been missed

You have been missed- Elena Mihalachi 

It's been a while since you've been here.

By a desired whisper on a sea floor, pencils are being used to color living cells 
unsure of which story to search for you in. 
Without the Poseidons' call, 
my blood waves had been broken by the Trident' last wish.
early sunsets with the softener of corals in a war treasure 
I have lost a lot: 
a leg, 
a hand, 
a kidney, 
my head; 
Until my heart was filled with longing, 
from the wooden lungs, 
every tale has a fairy or ghosted tail. 
The love I was sharing was the most profound, 
my silk window was made using the most recent fabric 
kept in my tears with decades above the naphthalene hunger touches my childhood without sharpening any of my innocence. 
Empty glasses were left behind in the area everyone was attempting to reach- 
The Horizon, 
Thirsty for the beloved naivety 
you left rearranged on the pulsing shelves. 
When you are infatuated with each other, 
in the core of the earth, twisting roots can shape thoughts, 
throughout any sacrificial actions to turn into a blessing of despair. 
The church bell's echo reveals everyone's Skeletons thrown into a hidden closet 
might be happening at night, when everyone's leaving their wings 
but there is nothing behind the door where the sunlight seals it with dozens of seahorses. 
Wrap me up in the morning, please. 
when lips move in a step dance 
Life begins with 100 years 
of breathing per minute
under water.


Thank you <3
